3 | | - | | Buium would make the three youngest players from NCAA the top three picks. Elite Hockey IQ, sees ice well, skates well to defend...and was the most dangerous offensive dman 5v5 in NCAA (his 35 even strength points were top in NCAA). |
4 | | - | | Russian wingers have become a bit of a specialty in CBus. Marchenko, Chinakhov, Voronkov, Dolzhenkov, and now Demidov. |
5 | | - | | **FLA pick: Panther surprise. Bienvenidos a Miami, Tij.
(Montreal trades the pick to Florida in Seth Jones-sized super-deal for Aaron Ekblad with 7 year extension). |
7 | | - | | Sens throw a wrench into the system and take big, mobile athletic, RHD...headed to (where else) North Dakota. (2024 version of Moritz Seider pick) |
8 | | - | | **SJS Pick: Celebrini and Eiserman were high school classmates, were scheduled to be come college teammates and will now share an NHL home. (SEA trades #8 to SJS for #14, #42, #116), |
9 | | - | | Conroy restocks the cupboard with future 1LD |
10 | | - | | No brainer here |
11 | | - | | Sabres got enough size on back-end |
12 | | - | | This seems like a fit if Lindstrom makes it this far. Health reports may be concerning...but the upside of Michkov and Lindstrom could be dangerous. |
13 | | - | | Bill Guerin takes a winger whose been compared to, well, Bil Guerin. |
14 | | | | **SEA pick: Ron Francis takes the discount and runs (see trade details at #8) |
15 | | - | | The fine print of the Yzerplan says keeping taking centers until they it works |
16 | | - | | The aging blueline starts to look around the corner at Lindstein-Yak |

18 | | - | | Lou makes his first 1st round pick in five years |
19 | | - | | Las Vegas sphere, June 28th: a 350 foot Gary Bettman walks to stage, Dr. Nefario at his side, to announce Vegas has selected...a minion |

21 | | - | | Helenii |
22 | | - | | Trotz gets Michigan-bound center |
23 | | - | | Two-way Swede played 27 minutes a night at U18 |
24 | | | | Russian-ball-of-hate measures at average size, but legs are tree trunks. One tough comrade. |
25 | | - | | I don't think they will be able to resist |
26 | | | | Power forward had rough U18s, falls into Sens lap |
27 | | | | Habs use Jets pick... |
28 | | - | Ilya Protas | Its the Analytics, man |
29 | | | | **WAS Pick: Caps grab Boston College-bound 6'7" center (see trade above) |
30 | | | | If Lindstrom/Basha worked for Medicine Hat... |
31 | | - | | Last time they drafted a Boston University-bound goalie, it worked out well |
32 | | - | | Hutson in the Hudson |
